I started at Walgreens when they introduced the Merch Planning organization almost 8 years ago. I applied for the job because financials were outside my comfort zone, and I wanted be a better buyer in the long run. I knew it would be a stretch role for me. I spent every day for months feeling like I had made a terrible mistake. It felt like everyone was better than me. I didn’t leave though because my coworkers and boss at the time wouldn’t let me fail. Having people who believe in you and support you truly makes such a difference. I’m so appreciative of the teams I’ve been fortunate to be part of, the experiences I’ve gained, all of the fun I’ve been able to have and most of all, the lifelong friendships I’ve formed. To my team, I am incredibly proud of you. It’s been my privilege as a leader to see all you’ve accomplished and watch you grow into amazing merchants. You’ve made me a better leader. You are what makes saying goodbye the hardest part. However, the time has come where I feel I need to stretch in new ways and take on new challenges. Deciding to leave a dream job was not an easy choice to make, but I’m so excited for the next chapter! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my Walgreens chapter. ❤️
